Petition for an Octave of Pentecost

I am a little skeptical about e-petitions, I have never done it before, but let's have ago.

I want the Holy Father to restore or re-introduce the Octave of Pentecost

There are many arguments in favour of this, ranging from the ranging from the hermeneutic of continuity of an ancient Tradition, to the highlighting of the "birthday" of the Church, there are good theological, catechetical and even ecumenical reasons too.

For most people, TLM means the 'rite' of 1962 -- Of course, there is an Octave of Pentecost, but how many other octaves were suppressed? Let us petition the Holy Father to restore all the suppressed octaves, even in the usus not-so antiquior...A blessed Octave of Corpus Christi to all your readers !

Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia, et ubi ecclesia vita eterna

Pray for Francis our Pope, and for the Church of God
